I wake up to a war inside
No headlines, just my thoughts collide
Mirror shows a weathered face
But I still lace up, I still chase
The medals they don't ever see
Are buried deep inside of me
Not chasing crowds, not chasing likes
Just trying to make it through the fight
Every scar, a trophy worn
Every doubt, a line I've torn
And when the silence hits at night
I’m still swinging under light
I’m number one in my own fight
Bleeding but I’m standing upright
No confetti, no spotlight
But I’ve been burning through the long nights
I don’t need a throne or crown
To know I never let me down
I’m number one in my own fight
That’s enough to keep me alive
They only see the final score
But not the walls I kicked before
The nights I held myself in place
With nothing left but grit and grace
Yeah, I’ve failed with no one near
Wiped my blood on broken mirrors
Learned to cheer with empty rows
Still, I rise yeah, that’s how it goes
It’s not glory, it’s not fame
It’s the fire that says my name
And if I fall before I win
I’ll get up and fight again
I’m number one in my own fight
Running with the ghosts at midnight
No banner high, no perfect line
But every round, this heart’s in time
No one clapped, no one saw
But I still answered every call
I’m number one in my own fight
And I won’t apologize
They’ll never know the weight I bear
But I do and I still care
No scoreboard will ever say
What it took to be okay
I’m number one in my own fight
Bruised but burning, wrong or right
I climbed through silence, choked on pride
Still I rise, I never hide
So when the noise all fades away
I’ll still be standing in the gray
I’m number one in my own fight
And that’s how I survive
I’m number one…
In my own fight.
